JIA

Home and Family

(in Mandarin!)

 Finally, our sweet little Luke August is home and doing well! It is divine to just hold him and cuddle him without tubes and monitors beeping and nurses hovering! He is a dream baby and only cries when he really needs something (hopefully that will last... as Mom's attention has been in hot demand since returning home from the hospital!). Macie, Reid, Davis, and Danny J were adorable when we let them hold Luke for the first time -- they've been so excited for this sweet fellow to join our family! It was torture for all of us to have him in the NICU, where none of the kids could see or hold the little guy. Thank goodness Grams has been here to take care of us all and hold down the fort while Danny and I camped out at the hospital all week. She has been an angel on earth  -- what will we ever do when she leaves?

Daddy love before leaving the NICU

See ya later, hospital. No love lost here... If only we didn't have to come back for blood tests!

After many sleepless nights, I can finally take this sweet thing home!

Snuggling with his one and only sister

Squawk! Luke voiced excitement at meeting his biggest brother, Reid...

That's more like it :)

Can you tell which of the kids was the MOST EXCITED to hold Luke? Davis is an adorable big brother!

Poor Danny J was sick and has been off limits to baby Luke ever since this photo. His little heart breaks each time we tell him he can't hold the baby. Thank goodness he's finally over it and can snuggle his little bro!

Macie can't get enough snuggle time in! She's a natural little mommy...

 Thanks to everyone for all of your prayers and well wishes! We are so grateful to finally be together as a family, home at last!
